95(t).Paper Mario
Points Received/List Appearances: 38; 3
Developer: Intelligent Systems
System(s): Nintendo 64
Genre(s): JRPG
Previous Rank: 57th (List 7)
The second RPG starring Mario, funnily enough this game was originally known as Super Mario RPG 2 before the name got changed.
Unlike the original Super Mario RPG, the plot of this game has the classic Mario vs. Bowser rivalry all the way up until the end of the game. Since Bowser stole the Star Rod to practically make him invincinble to any of Mario's attacks, Mario has to go through a long adventure to get the powers he needs to defeat Bowser once again.
The battle system is turn-based and Mario has timed attacks once again to make his attack stronger, and to reduce damage from enemies.
95(t).Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Points Received/List Appearances: 38; 3
Developer: Intelligent Systems
System(s): Gamecube
Genre(s): Strategy RPG
Previous Rank: 88th (List 3)
The sequel to the pretty popular Golden Sun. The game stars Felix instead of Isaac, the hero of the first game.
While it has typical JRPG elements the game is noteworthy for its Psynergy/Djinn system. The puzzles are well-liked too.
If you liked the first game odds are you'll like this one as well.

Points Received/List Appearances: 39; 3
Developer: Sonic Team USA
System(s): Dreamcast, Gamecube
Genre(s): 3D Platformer
Previous Rank: 78th (List 7)
One of the first Sonic games to be a Nintendo console, and quite possibly the most popular 3D Sonic game.
Sonic Adventure 2 has 3 different types of levels: classical running levels with Sonic or Shadow, shooting levels with Tails or Eggman, or Jewel Hunting levels with Knuckles or Rouge. While the classical running levels are the most well-liked some people like the other types as well.
The story has a lot of cheesy (in a good way) moments and is liked overall.
The Chao Garden, a system where you raise Chao by getting certain items during levels is very popular.
